The Argon pack is Osprey's premier backpacking pack, and what it adds in a little bit of weight (compared to the lighter Aether series), it makes up for with a whole lotta comfort and a few extra access points. The 85 L packs, if packed right, can carry enough gear for a few weeks. If you want a larger capacity and have the stamina of a mule, take a look at the Argon 110. If you plan on restocking at waypoints every week or so, the Argon 70 would be a better option. Really, it depends on how you're going to hike the AT. Personally, I'd go with the Argon 85 as a happy medium. Whatever you decide on, make sure you find an Osprey dealer and get a custom-molded hipbelt. Osprey makes a durable and comfortable pack and you won't regret purchasing one, no matter what you choose. From one who lives near the AT, enjoy!
